The video shot this time was only ten minutes long, and the content of the shooting was also very simple. First, the steps of drawing talismans, the method of holding the pen, and how to mix cinnabar were explained, followed by writing a word "Xuan" on yellow paper.

When the last stroke was made, the color of the word "Xuan" seemed to change suddenly, appearing brighter.

This is not an attack talisman, but a talisman to test talent.

It is easy to write on yellow paper, but writing a word "Xuan" does not mean that the person holding the pen has talent.

It mainly depends on the color of the handwriting.

The darker the color, the higher the talent. Su Lin's own handwriting is not dark in color. This body has talent, but the talent is not the highest.

He may not be able to become the most powerful Tianshi in Xuanmen.

But he is destined to be the master of the most powerful Tianshi.

This identity feels more meaningful.

The video was sent to the military after it was shot. Within a week, the base began to organize people to come to the prepared place in batches and write a word with a brush.

The entire base used a total of ten large venues, each of which could accommodate 500 people at a time. They would first watch a ten-minute video, and then learn to write a "Xuan" character on yellow paper like in the video.

After completing the task, they could also get a small bread when they left.

The small bread, which was not even as big as a palm, made most people very happy.

Fu Yeye was the first to come. He came to the auditorium with four or five companions. They were a little confused before coming, but because it was a military organization, no one dared to refuse.

"Squad leader." The tall boy came over and whispered, "I just took a look. There are many tables inside, and there are things on them, just like our previous exams."

"Is it really an exam?"

"No way, what exams are there now? How can you study if you are not sure you can survive?"

"Wait and see." Fu Yeye interrupted them. The boy at this time had changed a lot from a few months ago. The childishness on his face was still there, but his eyes were more determined.

On the way of escape, they met kind people who pointed them in the direction and let them meet the military team smoothly. The journey was a bit thrilling, but they all arrived at the base safely.

However, life after the end of the world has changed dramatically from before.

They are no longer children who only need to study and don't have to worry about anything else.

In the past, they only needed to leave everything in life to their parents, but now they can only rely on themselves for everything, which makes them experience the hardship of life.

Among the dozen companions, some found family and friends in the base, and the remaining four of them depended on each other in the base. In order to fill their stomachs, they had to face the zombies even if it was dangerous outside.

Going out to find supplies is to go in teams.

But other people looked down on the four underage students. Some were willing to take them with them, thinking of letting them be scapegoats to attract the attention of zombies.

Fu Yeye has a long scar on the back of his neck, which was caused by him being thrown out by a group of people. Fortunately, he still has three good brothers who desperately pulled him back.

Otherwise, it would not be just a scar on his neck, I am afraid he would have died outside the base long ago.

Not all people are so bad, but Fu Yeye and the others don't dare to take the risk. They would rather act together as a group of four than join other people's teams.

Even adults have such a hard time, let alone the four underage students.

Fu Yeye has superpowers, but the lethality of water-based superpowers is really too small. At the beginning, he could use water to exchange for supplies, but later the number of superpowers in the base increased sharply, and water resources were not ordinary, but not so precious.

If you want to fill your stomach, you still have to go outside to find supplies.

Every time they go out, the four of them will have more or less new injuries, and several times they almost didn't even have the chance to come back.

But even if they take such a big risk, they may not be able to fill their stomachs.

"No matter what, as long as you can get a piece of bread, it's fine." Zeng Fang smiled innocently and licked his lips before he got the bread.

Fu Yeye's eyes were a little complicated, "I hope it's a good thing."

In fact, the base is already very good. Free food is distributed every time. Although it can't fill their stomachs, there are so many people in the base, and the daily food consumption can be said to be very huge. These foods are collected by the military in the most dangerous places.

The military can give them life-saving food and a relatively safe fortress. They are grateful to this extent.

I just hope it will be a good thing this time.

The four people followed the team forward. When everyone entered the auditorium, the picture appeared on the big screen in front.

"Sit upright, think about your luck, when the pen tip falls on the yellow paper, remember not to..." The person in the video can't see the whole body, only the position below the shoulders.

The focus of the video is the action of his hand.

Is this writing calligraphy?

Everyone was a little confused. The military took so much effort just to let them learn how to write calligraphy?

"No, this is cinnabar and yellow paper? It's different from ordinary brush writing."

"Cinnabar, yellow paper, is this a talisman?"

"Have you heard about it? A very mysterious person came to the base, and throwing a piece of yellow paper can cause thunder."

Who hasn't heard about it?

Almost everyone in the base knew about this matter. It was something that made them feel particularly mysterious. Now it suddenly appeared in front of them, and there was such a thing, which really made them think more.

"Are you going to teach us how to draw talismans?"

"Can we be as good as him?"

"Oh my god, can I also become a person with super powers? Then can my children have enough to eat?"

The whole auditorium suddenly became noisy. The soldiers at the front picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Quiet! Anyone who makes noise randomly will be expelled immediately!"

This time no one dared to speak.

Let’s not talk about whether they really teach them how to draw talismans. Just talk about the buns they can get later. No one dares to speak at the risk of being kicked out.

Everyone has doubts in their hearts, and they also have expectations.

Fu Yeye stared at the screen. Although he didn't capture the person's appearance, he always felt that the person's voice was very familiar, as if he was that kind person...

There were only a few dozen tables and chairs, and 500 people had to take turns to come forward.

First, the identities were checked, and then the tables and chairs were arranged. Fu Yeye and others were arranged a little further back, so they could better see what was happening in front of them.

The first group of people picked up the brush and started writing. According to the video, they never stopped after writing and wrote the word "Xuan" in one go.

I thought this character would be difficult to write.

The first person to finish writing the word 'Xuan' suddenly shouted, "I finished writing it successfully. Can I awaken my powers?"

"Can I become a person with superpowers after I finish writing it?"

"I've finished writing too."

"If my writing is so beautiful, will it give me a better chance?"

"If I had known earlier, I should have learned calligraphy."

"Quiet! Those who have finished writing follow the staff and leave the auditorium." The management staff shouted. Although they did not explain what happened, it also made most people understand that finishing the word does not mean success.

This is quite regrettable.

They failed to awaken their superpowers, and now they don't have the talent to draw talismans, so how can they protect themselves in the apocalypse?

At this time, I was really desperate.

We are obviously all human beings, so why are there such big differences?

"Two factories will be built in the base, and a large number of employees will be recruited. You can pay attention at any time." When they were leaving, the staff around them reminded them, "Earn as many points as possible during this period. Once a large number of talismans are drawn, , people in the base can purchase it with points, even if you don’t have awakened powers.”

"real?"

"Can ordinary people also use talismans?"

"Like that person who can create a thunder and lightning with just a wave of his hand?"

"Is it expensive?"

"Great, really great." A middle-aged man suddenly cried loudly. The most difficult thing in the apocalypse is ordinary people, especially ordinary people who have to support their families.

It was really too much pressure, and they were completely breathless.

I don't care if I am hungry. Seeing the children crying from hunger and seeing the old people skipping food and leaving it to them, it feels like my heart has been ripped out.

As soon as word spread that you could use points to buy talismans, everyone in the base cheered.

At the same time, I am also curious, what kind of people are considered talented?

Fu Yeye has been paying attention. There have been several groups of people who have finished painting in front of them, but the military people have not shown importance to anyone. Is it possible that none of these people are talented?

Or maybe these people don’t know?

Is the military trying to hide the secret of how they find out who is gifted?

Suddenly, the people around him poked him and said silently: "How is it?"

Fu Yeye didn't nod or shake his head. He really saw some tricks, but it's hard to explain now, but he didn't dare to be kicked out for talking. That would be a big loss for him.

He just said silently: "Follow the video."

Video is key.

Why is it important? Because the person in the video can draw symbols, that means he has talent.

So, just follow everything in the video.

After Fu Yeye observed it for such a long time, the only difference he found was the color of the writing.

When cinnabar falls on yellow paper, it always turns red.

According to the modulation taught in the video, 99% of the people's handwriting was completely red, and only a few people's handwriting was darker.

If I remember correctly, only two of the first three hundred people wrote words that were a little darker than true red.

Maybe that's the point.

Fu Yeye thinks so because of the video.

There will be some chromatic aberration in the video, but the chromatic aberration affects the entire picture. I don’t feel much chromatic aberration in other places, and neither does the color of the font.

Obviously, the writing in the video is darker.

Maybe this was just his guess, but when it was his turn and he saw the last stroke being completed and the whole word "Xuan" deepening in color in an instant, Fu Yeye couldn't stop smiling at that time.

When he turned his head and looked at the words on Zeng Fang's desk, his eyes widened instantly.

Zeng Fang scratched his head and said, "What should I do? I seem to be different from you. Could it be that I made a mistake somewhere?"

Just as Fu Yeye was about to speak, the person in front urged him, "Those who have finished writing will leave immediately. You can receive a piece of bread at the front door."

There was no time to say more, and it was not easy to say more in such a crowded place. Fu Yeye could only suppress the excitement in his heart, "Let's leave first."

All that was just his conjecture, and it was unclear whether it was true or not.

But he knew that if it went as he suspected, someone would definitely come to the door after a while, and they would just have to wait.

The test took nearly half a month.

There has been no news for the past half month. At the beginning, some people were still looking forward to it, but as time went by, there was no news, and some people lost hope.

In addition, the news of the base factory construction came, and countless people's attention fell on the factory construction and recruitment.

"Have you heard about it? It's a paper mill that specializes in yellow paper."

"How could I not have heard about it? The treatment is very good, including breakfast and lunch, and you can get a lot of points every month." Someone had already inquired about the treatment clearly, "With these points, it is not a problem to support a family of three."

"That's great. If someone in the family can go to work in the factory, the whole family doesn't have to go out to kill zombies."

"You know Lao Chen, right? He is really lucky. He used to do this job. People in the factory took the initiative to find him and invite him to work without applying. His family doesn't have to worry about it in the future."

At this time, someone looked over the bunk bed and called out: "Xiaoyu, didn't your grandmother run a candle shop before? It's related, why don't you try it too?"

Xiaoyu is a young girl. The two grandparents depend on each other. One is old and the other is underage. Life in the end times is very difficult.

Fortunately, they are in the base. If they were outside, they would be bullied to death.

But life is difficult now. Xiaoyu's grandmother is old and has many old people's diseases. Even in this state, she still has to go out to find supplies.

Xiaoyu wanted to follow, but her grandmother would not let her.

In the base, even if some people have bad intentions, they have to endure it, otherwise if they really make trouble and get caught, they will be expelled from the base.

But outside, there are not so many concerns. Without the ability to protect themselves, I am afraid that I will encounter some things that people dare not even think about.

Originally, I could get some things back from time to time with the help of my grandmother.

But a few days ago, my grandmother broke her leg when she went out, and she had to crawl all the way back to the base. If it weren't for the passing soldiers who saw her and brought her back, I'm afraid she wouldn't even see her granddaughter.

Grandma was injured and couldn't even move.

Now the family is not only worried about what to eat tomorrow, but also how to treat grandma.

Xiaoyu can't accept the consequences of losing her grandmother. She only has her grandmother as a relative now, and she must not lose her again.

Holding a stone and cutting a long stick, Xiaoyu didn't tell anyone, but she had decided to go out tomorrow.

If she and her grandmother want to survive, she must shoulder everything.

She is not afraid even if she encounters terrible things.

People around are talking about the factory recruiting workers, but Xiaoyu doesn't take it seriously. Grandma has already signed up but was not selected, and she is not old enough, so she can't even think about the job quota.

But in order to treat her grandmother's illness and to make sure they have enough food in the future, she must take this step.

Xiaoyu is only less than fifteen years old, will she not be afraid?

She was scared to death. When she made the decision, her whole body was trembling slightly, but she had to do this, only in this way could she survive.

"Xiaoyu, come here." Grandma Yu waved to her, and when people sat next to her, she took out a few photos from the box under the bed, "I was too anxious at the time, and I didn't take anything except these photos. Grandma will give it to you now, you must keep it well."

These photos are all their family members.

It's a pity that there is not a single group photo in these photos.

"Every year we say we want to take a family photo, but every year we can't get everyone together." Grandma Yu said with deep regret, "But fortunately, we still have these photos. If you encounter difficulties, don't be afraid. The family is here. Although they can't appear in front of you, grandma promises that they will pray for you somewhere."

"Grandma..."

"Our Xiaoyu." Grandma Yu touched her face, and soon her fingers were stained with tears. Not only did Xiaoyu cry, but Grandma Yu was also trying hard to endure.

If Xiaoyu was a little older, it would be better. If she left, how would Xiaoyu, who is not yet an adult, survive?

But she couldn't leave.

If she was fine, she could go out to find some food to protect her granddaughter and keep her away from the ugliest things in the world as much as possible.

But now she is not only unable to help but also hinders her. Her existence will only make Xiaoyu's life more difficult.

So...

"Grandma, don't think too much. You are my only family." Xiaoyu threw herself into the arms of the old lady, full of panic. She couldn't help crying, "I can go find food. Grandma, give me a chance. I'll prove it to you, okay?"

Grandma Yu hugged Xiaoyu, and her hands kept patting her back.

She was reluctant, but...

Just then, a group of people in military uniforms suddenly appeared. They walked in front of Xiaoyu and asked, "Is it Lv Xiaoyu?"

Grandma Yu hid her granddaughter behind her and asked nervously, "Please, what can I do for you?"

"We are members of the military Xuanmen organization, and we invite Lv Xiaoyu to join us." The leader took out a letter, "If Ms. Lv Xiaoyu is willing to join, she can bring three family members to live in the inner circle."

The base is divided into several areas, and the safest area is naturally the inner circle.

And most of the inner circle is where the superpowers and some important members live, or they spend a lot of money to rent the houses in the inner circle, and it is difficult for other ordinary people to enter.

"Xuanmen Organization?"

"When did this new organization appear?"

"Is it the word 'Xuan' that was written last time? Could it be that Lu Xiaoyu has a talent for drawing talismans?"

"If this is true, then the two grandparents won't have to worry about their future lives anymore." Someone envied.

At the same time, some people were rejoicing, "I hope there will be more talented people in the base, so that the more talismans with attack, the lower the price may be."

The military personnel spoke again: "Ms. Lv Xiaoyu, are you interested in joining?"

"I am!" Lv Xiaoyu agreed without hesitation. She was not stupid. She naturally saw what her grandmother was planning. If she joined the military, at least her grandmother's injury could be treated and she could always be with her.

The same scene happened in various places in the base.

The final selection of the 500,000 people in the base was less than 500 people.

Of them, nearly 400 people were only slightly talented and could barely enter this door. Among the remaining 100 people, only one or two people had better talents, and the others could only be called average.

"Zeng Fang and Lv Xiaoyu?" Su Lin looked at the information handed over. These two people were the most talented in this test. The detailed information of the two was recorded in it, and a headshot was posted on it.

He looked at the boy with a simple smile in the photo and felt familiar.

"Have I seen him before?" Lu Le came closer, and he always felt that this silly-smiling boy looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him for a while.

"The group of students I met on the way back to Qingyun Community." Su Lin said.

Lu Le suddenly remembered, "Yes, it's them! He looks much thinner than before, and he must have had a hard time these days."

Not only Zeng Fang, but also others.

There are a total of 500 people, and there are basically no fat people in the photos, not even slightly fat ones.

Lu Le looked at one piece of information after another, and he asked: "Will they be my fellow brothers in the future? What should we rank them by? Age or talent?"

Yes, Lu Le is one of them.

And his talent is not small, which Su Lin is not surprised. He has long seen that Lu Le has strong five senses. There is nothing surprising about this kind of people, and they are all suitable to enter the Xuanmen.

But, ranking?

Su Lin hugged Zhuang Zhuang, who was crawling on the ground, and said: "Zhuang Zhuang is ranked first, you can draw lots."

Think about it, at such a young age, there are 500 junior brothers and sisters, isn't it awesome!

Such an awesome thing is a great gift from his uncle!

"..." Lu Le looked at Zhuang Zhuang, whose nose was bubbling. Is this guy going to be his senior brother in the future?
